Storm
Like a sudden wind she was there in my life
A gust that blew in from parts unknown
Swirled clouds around me, and it had my attention
And soon, a sweet rain started to fall
Refreshing in a way I had forgotten
This rain grew into a storm, something powerful
Like a child I'd play, all day, in the rain
Splashing in puddles as I found them
Smiling and laughing, in the rain, because of it
I would look up at the sky and dance in the rain
It cleanses me, washing away the old so I can grown again
And it grew stronger, and it drew me in
The lightening would flash, and its beauty would leave me blind
The thunder I would hear every night, rolling through my head
But the storm eventually broke
The rains slowly stopped
The winds shifted and brought change, as they always do
And with the wind and the rain, went the clouds
Leaving me with the sun
The sound of insects buzzing for my attention, over the echo of thunder
With my eyes closed I can feel the sun on my face
See it glow red through my eyelids
But I want the lightening
I can smell the wet grass drying all around me
The puddle I'm standing in is getting smaller
The sun was my friend for the longest time
The only friend I had, or needed, or wanted
Always constant, so simple, so easy
But there's no wind here
All I feel now, is the sun burning my skin
The insects buzzing louder and louder, it makes me nauseous
I can smell the burnt grass, feel the rough, dry dirt under my feet
I want to chase the storm, but I know its not mine to keep
It is something wild and free
Something unique
A selfless storm
